Champion Power Equipment Inc. is actively prosecuting 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technical innovations intersect with several specialized examination groups. The workload is spread among distinct examiners, resulting in a unique examiner for every pending action currently in the portfolio.
ROBERT L DEBERADINIS is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because the 4 pending office actions are split among different examiners, the company must address a variety of examination styles within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. This distribution limits the ability to leverage specific examiner familiarity across multiple applications, as no examiner holds more than the current case.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units indicates that the portfolio covers a range of technical sub-sectors. Practitioners managing the pending office actions must tailor their arguments to the specific standards of each art unit and the individual preferences of the distinct examiners. This structure requires a broad prosecution strategy that accounts for the diverse technical requirements of the different groups, including the 1 pending office action under the busiest examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
